Live...inside the Scripture to discover its context and message; then allow the Scripture to come alive in you and cause you to live out your faith in new and more-effective ways.

Read an excerpt from this study below.

--------------------------

Advent is the season that “proclaims the comings of the Christ—whose birth we prepare to celebrate once again, who comes continually in Word and Spirit, and whose return in final victory we anticipate.”1 We sing and hear familiar carols. People all across the world hail the Christmas holiday with parties, decorations, and greeting cards. But do these parties, decorations, and cards acknowledge who this Jesus is whom we call Christ? What does his birth and life, his death and resurrection, mean to us and for us?

Suppose for a moment that you encountered a couple of people who had just heard the name Jesus Christ for the very first time. Suppose these people asked you to tell them who Jesus is and what he means. If you had just five minutes to tell them what they needed to know, what would you say? Where would you start? What points would you include in your five-minute introduction to Jesus Christ?

Try this: Take a pen and piece of paper and outline what you think you would say in such a situation.
